Egg hunt in the hedgerow maze.


 Imagine ---An  Easter egg hunt in a beautiful hedgerow maze.It would be fun.Well,maybe for some,but scary enough that a grown up would have to come.It's done at Halloween with hay, why not this with eggs ? My family has never done this,well maybe someday.


So how would I get it done? A party outdoors in the warm Cucamunga breeze starting with Tea.
The Gentlemen's Tea table.What's in their cups ?

Tea, of course at the ladies table. 
 
With all the cousins frolicking about....games,paint and lemonade.


 and Maddie will be center of attention. 





Prayers said stories read .Yes, every Year for sure......

and wouldn't this be grand !


 If at Grannies house this Year the hedgerow maze will not really be there.Only in Grandma's great never ending imagination.


Happy Spring to all of Us ! Partying with Home Sweet Home

A foggy St Patty's Day here ; ) and A TEA PARTY for YOU!

Yes,It's going to be another misty moisty morning and foggy is the weather at Coffeeberry Cottage.You can barely see the cottage as you approach the driveway as You can tell. Once You get close though You can see from the cheery windows that all is well inside. 

Most people say they can feel the love and warmth as they get closer to the door.

Please do come inside ; )

Your presence blesses Our home even more.


 Let The glimmer shimmer and shine fill Your heart as it does Mine.


Certain blooms will let You know Spring has come..... 


and St patty's day has arrived.


I have Tea set for Us.




Grab Your cup of tea and let it sooth Your day.

There are those that call this home who are itty bitty, these Irish imps will join You for tea. I've taught them how to behave and they do most of the time.


He is known to pinch though on St.Patty's day.


They drink from all types of pretty sweet vessels-She jumps right into Hers.

They have their tiny homes inside My cottage,just keep Your eyes open and You might find a few.

Now let the dancing begin.Today We all look like her ....  and We'll dance like no one is watching .
After We enjoy the goodies,dance all day and sing as loud as we like.Don't forget to sign My guest book.




Please come back real soon and I do want to hear from You My sister friend.Follow and I will follow You and I'm sure a friendship will begin. Blessing and hugs across the miles.  Denise -  Partying with Submarine Sunday and Sandi's Tea Time Tues.Both blogs can be found on My sidebar.

Colors of Spring with Irish blessings to You.


 lavender is always found in My home,but this time of Year of course pink gets splashed around too.
Several of My Grannie's rhinestone pieces are flawless,I don't wear them much but they are always on display and I do love them too. Usually I only wear them during the holidays.All different colors  both Grannies had.

I put them into several smaller domes.Oh how I've grown to love domes too.How about You ?

 Yeah Spring for REAL flowers.You know I love the fake.....but,I will make an exception.
My daddy and His wife gave Me some (real) Orchids they grow in their yard near the ocean.Claudia His wife has a green thumb, but it's good to live on the coast.She can grow bundles of Orchids.Amazing to Me.  





Lavender keeps it's place in My heart no matter the month.Do any of You know where this new necklace comes from? You can't just say QVC. You have to know the designer TEHE. 


A gift from a dear lady,Peggy Recker of The Altered Place.The Altered Place can be found if You like at the top of My sidebar.We traded Gothic arches in honor of St. Patty's Day.Oh ! there's One of My angel Grannies adorning it with perfume. It must be Avon perfume from Grammie Ketzel straight from Heaven.

In honor of My Irish Grannie(Maiden name Winn)........................I would just love to go to Ireland.I'm enchanted by the countryside,the music and dance,the folklore.The whistle is My all time fave instrument.I have several cds of Irish music that puts Me where I would like to be, other than home of course, an Irish countryside cottage up the hill from the local village and pub.Any of You feel the same? Please let Me know. Maybe We can all go someday. Hugs and Irish blessings to You. Linking to party with pink Sat. at How sweet the Sound.http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com/my_weblog/
One of my favourite songs that makes me realise God’s always around. — Dancing with God, Verse 1: You dance over me While I am unaware, You sing all around But I never hear the sound, Chorus: Lord, I’m amazed by You Lord, I’m amazed by You Lord, I’m amazed by You How You love me Verse 2: You paint the moring sky With miracles in mind, My hope will always stand, For You hold me in Your hand.
